[Linux] installation OK, but proe crashes...

Hello,

I'm new in Linux's world and tried to install ProE on it. I read some threads about successful stories and I'd love to exprerience the same things!

I have proe for linux, datecode 2003370, and installed it without problems.

I can launch it and even if I have some error messages (see below) it works for some minutes (about 5 actually...).

After that, it suddenly crashes, and the only error message is "Aborted".

My setup is: Linux Kernel 2.6, Debian distribution (Knoppix), running on a Dell D600 laptop.

Can somebody help me?

error message ----------------------------------------------------- NMS client: could not connect to the Name Server. (host 127.0.0.1, port

1239) WARNING: lsa1pc4 appears to have the loopback address 127.0.0.1 as IP address This may imply that processes on lsa1pc4 may not be able to connect to non-local processes Failed to initialize communications. Some features are disabled. WARNING: Invalid search path file. ERROR: NMS client: could not connect to the Name Server. (host 127.0.0.1, port 1239)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you! Greg.

Ok, pro-e wants to connect to the license server, which I presume is running on the same machine, but it has some networking issues.

Do you have a network card initialised ? If not, do so, pro-e needs it. What is the output of 'ifconfig -a' ?

I don't know for sure, but it looks like you're having trouble connecting to the network. Firewall issues? It might be hurting you that PTC only supports the Red Hat 7.3 release, not Debian at all. Not sure what problems the Debian release has.

I'm running wildfire on debian testing just fine.

I think ProE finds the license server. Here is the output of ifconfig -a:

I actually partially solved my problem by not using the graphic acceleration. I replace "Driver radeon" with "Driver vesa" in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file.

Now I have no graphic acceleration, (at startup, an warning appears "Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".") but at least proe doesn't crash anymore. But I still have the "could not connect to the Name Server" message.

Maybe my problem is more a hardware problem. My graphic card is an ATI RADEON Mobility 9000. I have to work that out...

Thanks! Greg.

You might try the Scitech SNAP graphics drivers ?
